I understand that the amazon.com links are automatically updated to include the affiliate link
However, some products appear only in the .co.uk Amazon domain. For example, the following link (which I have intentionally broken) does not work when converted to our affiliate link:

@Kev its not so much an issue of "it would be nice if it pointed us to the localized Amazon domain", but rather "not all Amazon domains share the same product base, so if something specific to Amazon.uk.co is linked, the link breaks".

Yes that does seem messy, hadn't bumped into that before.

Amazon links that are not to the US .com site will no longer be redirected to it.

Amazon requires that you have a physical business location in a country to use an affiliate link, so we aren't affiliates in other countries. We will no longer replace these with .com, we just won't touch them.
